Abstract

Abstract:

The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) is considered to be a good predictor of disease status in patients with end-stage liver disease and has been used for organ distribution in liver transplantation. This article briefly describes the relationship between MELD, MELD-Na score and the mortality of patients waiting for liver transplantation, the intraoperative blood transfusion, the survival, complications, and re-transplantation after liver transplantation.

Key words: End stage liver disease, Liver transplantation, MELD-Na score, Postoperative complications
